Pick of the day

Let's suppose - though if it's true I'm afraid we'll have to ask you to stop reading the Guardian - that you are the kind of person who buys pornography. Would you rather get your ... supplies ... at a newsagent's, where you're sure to bump into your mother or gossipy workmate, or online, in that cyberspace where no one can hear you moan?

It's a no-brainer, isn't it? No wonder there's a Crisis On the Top Shelf (11.30am, Radio 4). Rowan Pelling, former editor of the Erotic Review, reports, while bravely resisting any reference to struggling organs.

Elsewhere, there's a lot of excitement about that vote thingy. You know: the one with the Imaginary Muslim, the Shark-Eyed Moose-Killer, the Butt-Ugly Zombie and the Wholly Unmemorable One. Manning the swingometers are Richard Bacon, Lesley Ashmall, Rhod Sharp and John Pienaar for 5 Live (11pm-5.30am) and Thomas Riehle, James Naughtie and Shaun Ley for Radio 4 (midnight-5.20am). To get you in the mood, Christopher Green dons his cow-girl outfit for Tina C's Election Night BBQ Special (11pm, Radio 4).
